Of all the current young male singers, Josh Groban is the one that I admire the most. He has an impressive career, which I can only suppose was not easy. The lights apparently started shining on him when music producer David Foster first noticed his unique gift, …

The Cam’ron cd which is title “Purple Haze” was released in 2004 after a long waiting period for fans. Once Cam was released from Rocafella this cd was released and I was very happy when I actually was able to listen to this cd. It features the single “Killa …

If you aren’t familiar with “Fun House,” then not only are you missing out on one of the greatest rock albums ever made…but you haven’t even HEARD true rock music, not the way it’s meant to be, at least. This album is everything that’s great about rock: it’s dirty, …

Ride The Lightning, the title track of Metallica’s second release, is a song where I believe you can hear some aspects of Kill —˜Em All blended with some new aspects from Ride The Lightning. The reason I say this is because the music to …

I like it, I love it by Tim McGraw is my favorite song because it is my friends ring tone and he is in love with country music. This song is so romantic because it talks about how much this guy likes this girl and how much he …

MK Ultra is a track by Muse which appears on their most recent record, The Resistance. MK Ultra starts out in a very electronically-driven sound and basically keeps this throughout most of the song. The lyrical topic of the song deals with a CIA operation and the basic structure …

The Suburbs is a track by Arcade Fire which is the title track to their most recent release. Right from the beginning of this song, the simple rhythm which is carried heavily by the percussion and by a piano creates a very feel good and easy mood which lends …

This fantastic CD, the first release by the band Slow Runner features great musical ballads that will keep you singing well into
the night. Michael Flynn, the bands lead singer previously released the exact same album under his name, this re-release under the bands new name Slow Runner is all …

Someone Is Waiting is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel which is the third track to appear on their debut release, On Avery Island. Picking up immediately where the previous track, You’ve Passed, left on, the vocal performance of Jeff Magnum abandons the Lou Reed-like sound which I seemed …

Cry To Me is a cover performed by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Out Of Our Heads. The song opens up with a clean guitar part with a tempo that has a ballad feel to it. Once Jagger comes in with the vocals my suspicion that …

Salty Dog is a song by Flogging Molly which appears on their album Swagger. The track starts off fairly quietly with just an acoustic guitar strumming a chord progression and then a fiddle playing a lead over it before the rest of the band comes in to double this …

I really enjoy the simplicity of this track. The gentle opening and how gradually it starts to develop into what is just a great sounding track.
Again, it’s Gary Barlow behind it, the writer and the driving force behind Take That.
As a performance it does build gradually, it doesn’t explode …

U2 is an Irish rock band that has many albums, one of my favourite albums from them is entitled “How to dismantle an atomic bomb” and one of the songs featured on this CD is called Miracle Drug.
It starts off pretty slow, with the singer following the slow …

It’s your love by Tim McGraw and faith hill is a song I love. It talks about how this guy wants to leave but can’t because how strong this woman’s love is for him. He now wants to stay with her because her love changed him. This song is …

The hardcore rock scene has seen a decline in its hardcore aspect over the last few years, sounding more like pop driven radio friendly alternative than anything else. While Hopesfall may be a decent band, “Head General Hospital” seems to try to hard to reclaim some of the edge …

I think that one classic soul group a lot of people, young and old would be familiar with would be the one called “The Righteous Brothers”. While I don’t think that a lot of young people would necessarily know the group immediately by name, since I didn’t either …

I love this album by Avenged Sevenfold, it is one of my favorites next to “Live in LBC and Diamonds in the Rough” because it has some amazing solos and the songs are really fun to play on guitar. Shadows’ vocals are pretty good in this album, but they …

This CD is definitely a must have to all Twilight fanatics. I considered myself as one so I rushed to the music store to grab a copy. I like its packaging with Bella and Edward on the front cover of the CD case. However, I was …

During the 90’s there is song called Beautiful from Christina Aguilera. During the first year of 20th century, there is song called Ugly from Sugababes and now, year 2010 Katy Perry made another song that I will love and treasure. I love songs like this that gives out important …

A Song Dedicated To The Memory Of Stormy The Rabbit is a song by Andrew Jackson Jihad which appears on their album People That Can Eat People Are The Luckiest People. What I will say immediately about this track is that although I think the songwriting is just brilliant, …

Agnes is one of those recording artists that did not pop up until very recently, but one that I have been very pleasantly surprised by. To me, she looks so much like Leona Lewis and she has a great voice just like Leona Lewis. There is something about her …

213 is a song by Slayer which appears on their album Divine Intervention. The song opens up with a clean guitar playing an extremely eerie riff, although you know that if Slayer has a clean guitar, then the riff is obviously going to have a dark and eerie mood …

Rudimentary Peni released “Farce” the same year as their debut self titled EP. I really enjoyed their first release, however with this one I am not so impressed. With that being said, every RP record is excellent and above par for punk, and this one is no exception. I …

Now I have never been known to be a proper fan of rock music, but recently I came across a Dire Straits album, titled —˜Brothers In Arms’, that somehow enticed me to pop it in and give it a listen, purely because of the profound title and I was …

This female-fronted rock band has been around on the indie circuit for almost 10 years. The singer Chibi really reminds me of Fairuza Balk (the actress) in looks and expressions, and she has a great little-girl voice that can also get dark and growly. The band sort of travels …

Whatever you like by T.I. is a song that seems like a fantasy to me. What guy would actually give a girl whatever she likes even if he was rich. There are some but not many. The music video for this song is a little weird because it starts …

Lather is a song by Jefferson Airplane which appears on their album Crown Of Creation. The song starts off with a nice acoustic guitar part coming through the left channel before Grace Slick comes in with the vocals for the first verse. Thus far I enjoy the overall mood …

The Black Keys are really hot right now. And I feel sorry that I happened to find out about this band only along with everybody else, during the wave, the tsunami of their breaking into the mainstream, and not earlier than that.
El Camino is a great album, and I …

Canadian MetalCore band, The Agonist, is acclaimed for their hard-hitting riffs, lush guitar and vocal melodies, and brutal Death Metal growls and screams (done by female vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, no less). Their second and most recent album, “Lullabies for the Dormant Mind” (released in March of 2009) demonstrates all …

Seattle, written by Hugo Montenegro, Jack Keller and Ernie Sheldon, has been around for quite a while. It was written for the TV series, Here Come the Brides, in 1969. The series in its first season used an instrumental version, but then in the second season they …

When I heard this song on the radio, I didn’t know it was Charice singing and I was really proud when I recently found out it was her! I liked the song before and now I like it more, learning it was her that sang this! It didn’t sound …

It is a rare occasion to find a band that does not rely heavily on the use of heavy guitar riffs and power chords to get their music to sound energetic and progressive. Circa Survive is just one of these bands, and “Oh, Hello” is a perfect example of …

Calling you by Blue October is a song that is sad in some ways if you think about it because it talks about how a guy misses a girl so much that he keeps calling her. I like the song because it reminds me of how I am with …

ReJoyce by Jessica Simpson is her first (and only so far) Christmas CD that came out in 2004. I love this CD and my only complaint is that I wish there were more than 11 songs on the CD. She has classics on there as well as new songs. …

Anyone who’s seen the show “A Different World” (hit 1987 spinoff of sitcom, “The Cosby Show”) probably remembers the earthy, bohemian airhead named Freddy. Her real name is Cree Summer, and when you hear her slightly whiny, yet melodic voice on her debut album “Street Fairie“, you’ll …

All Alone is a song by The Gorillaz which appears on their record Demon Days. The song opens up with an interesting electronic rhythm which is then accompanied by a vocal section which sings a repetitive chant of “all alone”. Throughout this section of the track the overall mood …

Four Sticks is a song by Led Zeppelin which appears on their iconic record Led Zeppelin IV. The track starts off with a pretty famous guitar riff from Page and you should also take note of Bonham’s rhythm behind Page as it strikes me as an interesting rhythm and …

We all know that when it comes down to great singers, gospel singers are among the best. Almost all the major artists out there have their roots in the church. But Anthony Evans is definitely an exception. He is not just a talented singer, but he himself is a …

Hate Train is a song by Metallica which was recently debuted at one of their 30th anniversary shows in San Francisco, California. Although the song has not officially appeared on an EP or an LP thus far, the studio version has been released and is expected to appear on …

Memory of A Longing Love or also what it is called as ‘Memori Sekuntum Rindu’ is very poignant, sweeping and sad. I have teared a few times whilst listening to this song, sung by the band Spoon.
Unfortunately, the lead singer of this band Spoon had been killed …

Chewin The Apple Of Your Eye is a song by The Flaming Lips and the fifth song on their album Transmissions From The Satellite Heart. Opening up with a light guitar part with an effect placed on it, Coyne enters the mix with his vocals somewhat abruptly for my …

The Bone Thugs cd “Strenth And Loyality” is the first major Bone Thugs cd to be released since they parted ways with Ruthless Records for Full Surface and Swizz Beats. If you have been a Bone fan for a long time you will notice the changes, DJ U-Neek is …

Overview —“ I Disappear, a track written for the purposes of the Mission Impossible II soundtrack is a song that ended up causing a lot of controversy for Metallica and costing them a lot of fans, and not even for the song itself. For those of you who do …

As you visit the E.S. Posthumus website, you are immediately thrown into space with the unforgettable song Nara on their home page. This song is due for a magnanimous review. As you can hear, it is as magnanimous as a song …

Saving Us is a track by Serj Tankian which appears on his first album, Elect The Dead. I’ll be honest and say openly that when System Of A Down went on hiatus and then the members went off to do their own things, I paid a lot more attention …

Badonkadonk is a song by Tracy Adkins that was considered to be controversial when it first came out. I finally listened to it one day in full on the radio and now when I hear it I think of men like my husband. It reminds me of them going …

The Show Must Go On is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their concept album, The Wall. The track opens up with harmonized voices singing together in a very melodic fashion over a very basic drum rhythm which gives the song a very calm feel. It’s sort …

There is something about this song, “too little too late”. I personally have enjoyed this particular music track so much, and there are a few remixes to it.
Personally, Jojo, the singer to the title song, “too little too late” has really captured my heart and I …
